Twynsta
DESCRIPTION
Twynsta 80/10 mg & 80/5 mg | Powerful Combination Therapy for High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Twynsta is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the treatment of essential hypertension.
Active Ingredients:
1. Telmisartan (80 mg) – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels by blocking the hormone responsible for narrowing them.
2. Amlodipine (10 mg or 5 mg) – a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that further relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.
The dual action of Telmisartan and Amlodipine in Twynsta provides comprehensive and sustained blood pressure control, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and long-term cardiovascular complications.
Indications:
• Management of essential hypertension in adults
• Recommended for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy
• Helps reduce cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients
Available Strengths:
